  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Why is Plesk 12 still using Apache 2.2.15

GlennT

Basic Pleskian
Apache 2.2.15 This is an older version and has vulnerabilities but is still being installed with Plesk 12.

Centos 6 doesn't offer later versions of Apache so perhaps this is something Plesk should upgrade via the updater.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Plesk doesn't ship Apache, it only downloads it from original OS vendor repo and it is quite likely it may be outdated there (especially for older OS). If your OS comes with Apache 2.2.15, then Plesk would run Apache 2.2.15 for clients.
On my test Plesk server:

[root@ppu12-0 ~]# rpm -qi httpd

The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful, efficient, and extensible web server.
 
Apache 2.2.15 This is an older version and has vulnerabilities but is still being installed with Plesk 12.
Centos 6 doesn't offer later versions of Apache so ...
Given that Apache is shipped by CentOS, it might mean that's time to go for CentOS 7
 
Also note that CentOS applies security patches for their supported versions. The installed version would be 2.2.15-39.el6 and not just 2.2.15
